I hope noone is scared of Eiger in this little car.
Difference of full wet to full dry lap times was ~5 seconds for me.

Not the whole track, just the brake zone in to T1

For Rooster722's benefit

Live Qualifying (Work in Progress) - With the room setup properly the host will call everyone to the pits and start the countdown timer. A short race (3-5 laps) will serve as the live qualifying session. Drivers will not complete the last lap of the session, instead they will park and type their fastest lap times in the PSN text chat (please don't use the race room chat to post times) before exiting the race. Once the room reloads drivers can immediately take to the track and begin forming the grid near the pit exit. The room host will save the replay of the qualifying session for verification purposes, sort the drivers fastest to slowest then post the qualifying order to the text chat, finalize the grid staging, then start the race.

Let in rain, let it rain. See ya all soon.

That's actually not quite right. We're still trying the 'Reverse order of last race' setup.

We'll start a 5 lap race and we'll all run 4 laps, park with the handbrake, type our times in the chat, line up slowest to fastest (everyone should be able to figure out who they're behind/in front of pretty quickly) and then cross the finish line in that order. The host will then set the full lap count, we'll all take to the pits and the race will start from there.

I will remember a strange mix of these instructions, and rely on guidance from somebody that remembers a more accurate mix.

Sorry to further confuzzle everyone I'll fully read what I post next time
